Just signed up here, and felt I should at least post a tip. When you open VB 6.0, and you click the Existing Projects tab, isn’t it annoying, that it defaults to a folder within the VB program files? Well, a few weeks ago, I was given a tip on how to change that (because I looked in the registry and everything, to try and change that). It’s a pretty simple answer too. Go to the properties of your VB 6.0 program shortcut, and change the ‘Start In’ option to the folder you want it to have as the default ‘Existing’ folder, and Presto, that’s the folder that will show up by default, when you click the Existing tab.
